Patrons & ambassadors
The important role and standing that CEP has achieved is a particular tribute to the vision, energy and commitment of the people who established it and led its early development. In recognition of their invaluable contribution to the development of CEP from the beginning, as the European network and organisation for probation organisations and interests, CEP appointed Breidge Gadd and Jurgen Mutz as its Patrons. CEP Patronship stands for acknowledgement and appreciation of particular and personal commitment and actions for CEP, over many years.
Besides the role of patrons, CEP holds great value and appreciation to its international ambassadors – professionals in the criminal justice field who represent CEP at international level and events.
